&#8220;Readers are not sheep, and not every pen tempts them.&#8221; -Vladimir Nabokov
NaNoWriMo isn&#8217;t for everyone. It&#8217;s not even for every writer. In fact, only 16% of the people who sign up actually reach the goal of 50K words in 30 days. And that&#8217;s perfectly fine, because for some people that&#8217;s simply not a useful goal. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of year again. The time when temperatures begin to dip into the 70s, you can buy a pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks, and when once again I start to thing about things like plot devices and character names. Yes, it&#8217;s almost time for NaNoWriMo.
Now I&#8217;ve been a participant in National Novel Writing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ahhh&#8230; Sunday morning in Houston, Texas. Supposedly the temperature outside is 71°F, but inside it&#8217;s a nippy 65°F. Yes, nippy, damnit! I didn&#8217;t move south to feel chilly.
The thing I like most about living in Texas (over Florida) is that there&#8217;s more of a change in seasons here. Leaves actually do fall from trees, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I wrote the following in two separate mini writing sessions in the summer of 2002. I thought I&#8217;d post it here and maybe inspire myself to dig a little deeper into Gary&#8217;s story. What do you think?
The tree was a huge, clawing thing. Its inky, leafless branches snaked out Medusa-like from a trunk more than [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Life with my parents has never been dull, and apparently some things don&#8217;t change with age. I grew up thinking vacations were spent on a 27&#8243; cabin cruiser tied to some cliff in Ontario. Staying in a hotel was something entirely foreign to me until at least my teens, and even then it only happened [...]]]></description>

One jumps in, the other follows to make sure all the bases are covered. The fact that it&#8217;s Cisco networking and I&#8217;ve been certified before is neither here nor [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a quote by Robert H. Schuller from the mid 1900s. The piece is solid, and its weight feels good in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I found myself at loose ends several weekends back. In between the huge dents I made in the mountains of work, I&#8217;d set aside some free time to write. I had been hoping to get into a fun bit of shared fiction. Alas, the rest of the world appeared to be spending that particular weekend away from their [...]]]></description>

More recently I turned to online resources, and the best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in school, eons and ages ago, it was nearly impossible to find real wooden pencils. That makes no sense, I know. Apparently pencils that melt rather than burn was a stupid fad of the 80s, and damnit I wanted wood. Maybe it was my internal architect screaming to break free, maybe it was stubbornness, [...]]]></description>
